Thank you VOVETI for sponsoring this post. Elevate your entertaining this season with VOVETI Prosecco
My first ever cocktail recipe shared on Spice the Plate! This easy “Ginger-Pomegranate Prosecco Cocktail” is my secret weapon when I have friends over. I can’t wait to share with you!
All you need to make this tasty cocktail at home is: sugar, ginger slices, ice, sake (you can substitute with soju, or even gin/vodka in a pinch), pomegranate and prosecco. And they take only 20 minutes to be ready!
The main ingredient of this cocktail is the Voveti Prosecco. VOVETI is a brut style DOC with tempered acidity and a fresh, graceful profile. As an easy drinking aperitif or cocktail, this prosecco is perfect to share with friends.
Compared to champagne, prosecco has a fruitier taste and is typically more affordable. The sweet flavor profile makes it a great fit for this homemade cocktail.
To give this cocktail recipe a slight Asian twist, instead of using Gin or Vodka, I have chosen to use Japanese sake (Korean soju works great as well).
